Traveler reviews
1st time at island of Kona of the Hawaiian islands
our tour guide was don, a very hippie type guide , great attitude who scheduled a tour of kona that included the falls, green sand beach aboard pickup trucks that drove through the dunes, best ride ever also thought us about mineral olivene , the market, black sand beach, sightseeing through towns and provided the best tour even dropping us off to get on the last tender for the ship, a little scary, but true to his word he got us back in time Robert
Volcano Adventure Tour April 2023
Volcano Adventure from Kona-April 2023. Chang picked us up in a 12 person van at our condo in Kona. He was very knowledgeable about the vegetation, wildlife, volcanoes and taught us while we drove. We stopped at different lava fields, the southern most bakery in the US for lunch, the black sand beach (sea turtles!), steam vents and the lava tube at the volcano National park, Hilo candy store, and Rainbow falls. Chang drove us back to our condo on the beautiful Saddle Road. Despite some rain, it was an amazing 10 hour day!
Great Tour
The whole tour was a very pleasant experience. Aunty Karen made sure of that. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all the aspects of the tour. She kept it interesting. I wish all the tours would take a lesson from Aunty Karen. Amazing experience
Great tour guide, Not so great company
A highlight of this excursion was the tour guide. She was great and really tried to make the absolute best of our trip. The low point of this excursion was that the company doesn't seem to maintain their vehicles well. Our van broke down and we had to wait 2 hours for another van to come. Then the second van had a battery light on the dashboard illuminated for most of the journey. My husband and I kept waiting for it to break down as well. The tour guide tried to make up for the break down by buying some pastries for everyone at the bakery. She also had her mother stop at the cookie shop for us since we were arrive too late to go ourselves. I contacted the company after asking for a partial refund since we didn't get to do all the places on the itinerary due to the breakdown and they never responded. So as long as your vehicle doesn't break down, this is a great tour!
Around the Hawaii island tour
It was a good trip but the name volcano adventure is a little bit misleading. Trip is long and spending too much time in the car. Tour guide was good and gave a lot of her own stories.
